Quote:Quote::?: I mean the message that you're trying to get across by getting a piercing. What are you trying to say? A piercing can have all sorts of symbolic meanings. Does it mean that you're a masochist? That would be the most obvious interpretation to someone unfamiliar with the supposed culture.
your message is ambiguous.
Only to those who are afraid (which is most) of being different
Quote:Possibly but it is their lossIf you're distrusted unfairly, it's still your loss.
Quote:I would only be unattractive to those who don't understandIf you're unattractive in a garish way to those who don't understand, and if those people happen to be police officers or others with authority, it could still be your loss.
Quote:Quote:At least you admit that you're conforming. Most kids who get piercings tend to think that they're rebelling (according to the stereotype, which you fit otherwise).
you're just conforming to everyone else with a piercing
Good for me!
